It's very hard to support them once they've started blooming. (Been there, done that too many times.) Get something big & sturdy, as mine has outgrown its little 3-ringed hoop. Some people use upside down tomato cages.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-16833578234883196312008-06-02T17:37:00.000-04:002008-06-02T17:37:00.000-04:00Chuck B...

Cats can be difficult! Maybe an outside litter box of the cat would help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-66934199368805720302008-06-02T08:43:00.000-04:002008-06-02T08:43:00.000-04:00We have cats in the neighborhood too, but they nev...We have cats in the neighborhood too, but they never bother my garden. I always have my dog with me when I garden. I think that keeps them away. It helps keep the bunnies away too, but the bunnies will get aggressive later when their population increases.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-50396633786911176362008-06-02T07:12:00.000-04:002008-06-02T07:12:00.000-04:00I am in complete agreement with your June musing. ...I am in complete agreement with your June musing.

I don't have a problem with cats, but digging armadillos drive me crazy. Love the photo of the white iris.

I couldn't figure out what was attracting all those flies...<BR/><BR/>Until I sniffed out the answer. I put a bunch of society garlic in the cat's favorite spot. That's what the garden center lady advised me to do, but I don't think it helped. Turns out a few sprinkles of society garlic is nice on pizza.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.com
